ART N' SOUL
Live painting & Auction in Clarion Hotel Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
2023-2024
Art n’ Soul is an internationally organized event series that highlights emerging local female artists. The events feature live music interpreted by the artist, simultaneously creating an inspired artwork.
In September 2023, I painted the figurative painting 'Power Lady' (80 x 80cm) during the Helsinki event, with the fantastic musicians Malka and Edel performing.
The determined woman in the vibrant painting 'Power Lady' doesn't wait for others to hand her the moon from the sky; instead, she has grabbed the moon herself, cradling it in her own arm. Clad in an astronaut suit, she embarks on this adventure alone. The path to the stars must be trodden independently.
The artwork is now on display at the Living Room Bar on the first floor of Clarion Hotel Helsinki. All paintings created at the events will be auctioned in the fall of 2024. The proceeds will be donated to charity.
Event created by Tania @Art N Soul
The paintings are exhibited at Clarion Helsinki.
In Helsinki, visual artist Elli Maanpää created 'Power Lady'.
